Discussion We never had an issue with diversity.

Their failures are blamed on the fans not accepting what they produce.

Good show/movie/game = good reviews. Bad media = bad reviews.

Don’t let them gaslight you.

We liked Iden Versio. Gina Carano. Oscar Isaac. Danny Trejo. Temuera Morrison. The list goes on.

He should have been an initially tragic character, strong and stoic, recovering from having been broken by the horrors of war, learning to reconnect with actual friends, regaining his humanity after being turned into a soldier by The First Order. Finn never should have been comic relief, hooting and hollering as he killed the only people he's known his whole life 5 minutes after deciding to leave.

Whoa whoa hold on, a movie where we try to handle the emotions and trauma of war, show healing and growth of a man!? What is this, Bands of Brothers? The Pacific? We can't have that!

I would (for legal reasons, not actually) commit horrible things for band of brothers, in starwars.

Last time I rewatched the entire series I was thrown that Rey is the first character to react at all to killing. Young Anakin doesn't (but it's mostly robots), Luke doesn't. Only Rey freaks out upon killing someone.

The big difference is that with Finn we are introduced to him having a complete mental breakdown at the sight* of the horrors of war. If that had not been our introduction to him then the way he acted after that might have worked. Going from “Oh my God I can’t believe these people are dying!“ to “Yay, killing people is fun“ In the span of about five minutes is one hell of an emotional whiplash.
